basher Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Shorter frame will be easier to throw around and more flicky, a longer frame will be better for taps ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy d Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 When you say size are you talking about wheelbase?There are quite a few factors involved in the shape of a trials frame. For example:wheelbasebottom bracket heightchainstay lengthhead angleIt's a bit complicated... Generally short wheelbase (e.g. 1040mm) would be an advantage for things like spins and manuals, whereas long wheelbase (e.g. 1100mm) would be an advantage for getting up high things, doing big gaps etc.Or somewhere in between. Do some research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
